How can the NYT editors sleep at night, knowing there is just SO much to worry about, so many questions to be asked and answered?

NYT Frets: How Will Bloody Hands And Dead Bodies Impact the 'Pro-Palestinian' Extremists?
Ed Morrissey:
Yes, yes, this is precisely the question on everyone's minds before the victims of the assassin chanting "Free Palestine" have even been buried. Americans watched in horror the last couple of days with the question How will this impact the mostly non-violent "Globalize the Intifada" movement dominating their thoughts.
At least, that's what dominates the minds of moral idiots. And the New York Times. But I repeat myself.
This is their actual headline today, at a moment when the unfolding events around the assassination of two Israeli embassy workers by a pro-Hamas assassin didn't even make their digital front page:
….[T]he killings of the Israeli embassy workers, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, who grew up in Israel and Germany, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, who was from Kansas, cast a harsh spotlight on the pro-Palestinian movement in the United States and the impact even peaceful protests might be having on attitudes against people connected to Israel.
The killings also risked painting all pro-Palestinian activists, the vast majority of whom do not engage in violence, with the same brush, which could lead to further repression of their movement. The tragedy occurred just as the movement has been trying to sustain attention in the United States on a blockade by Israel that has put Gaza residents at risk of widespread starvation.
The late Norm MacDonald was a comedian, not a NYT reporter, and as such, he was prophetic, not pathetic.
